    US Phone number service

    Anyone know of a good online service that enables me to do this

    1) Post a US phone number on a client's site

    2) People call the number and EITHER

    - they get to talk to my client in Europe through SKYPE

    OR

    - they get voicemail and the client calls them through the app

    You ever try google voice? It can do the "get voicemail and the client calls them through the app" part.

    You can also forward the calls to your clients "real" number and answer there. Or just answer the call in google voice.

      Google voice only works in the US though, right? Can I access it if I am overseas?

            I don't know. Check their website. Nevertheless, even if they don't ship international, they have many retailers that may ship to you. And if you can't find one of those, then you can get it on ebay.

                  Does it have an end user app? I am under the impression that Twilio only offers an API for various front end apps

                      I had good experiences with Sonetel in the past.

                      Wide range of available US numbers, including toll free. Forwards your calls through VOIP or by just calling your number abroad. You can also route calls to their voice mail system.

                      They offer free trials for new customers.

                        I dont know, all my stuff is built so I dont know if they have built new stuff or not. They have a website. Even if one is not built, you could build it yourself or have a competent coder do it and then have it do exactly what you need.

                          That looks promising! I'll check it out. I like the TOLL FREE option and voice mail collection and forwarding

                          Can they format to a VOIP app on my computer or phone?

                            I used it as a VOIP solution myself to keep a regular (business) phone number while traveling as a digital nomad for a while. Don't know anymore what app I used for that on my phone back then.

                                    Yes, from overseas and yes, they offer toll free numbers in USA and other countries too.
                                    I just logged in to check and for USA they have 833. 844, 855, 866, 877, and 888.

                                      Do they offer discounts for ANNUAL buys? Thanks for the referral. Much appreciated.

                                        I use Kall8.com and TollFreeForwarding.com
                                        both are great
                                        You can forward the numbers to any other phone number in the world (so you can just get a skype number https://www.skype.com/en/skype-number/ and forward to that) and/or have a voicemail. It's super cheap, like $2/month for a 8XX number and per minute rates are super cheap as well

                                        I have 100s of toll free numbers with those 2 and never had any issue

                                        I also had a provider that could directly forward to skype without having to have a skype number, but they stopped doing that, but there are probably still some that offer that. Either way the above option works great.

                                        There are also cheaper options where the receive installs a voip app and you route the numbers to that, but it requires a bit more technical knowledge

                                          NO, G Voice works any where you have Wifi and you're on a Laptop. You can also add credit to your account, usually 1 cent per minute.
